"theft" of open networked wi-fi is lame. that's like claiming my neighbor stole the water that my sprinkler spread to his lawn. If you don't encrypt, then you deserve to be leached from, that's how I feel. It's like spreading cash on the street and saying, "don't pick that up, it's mine". Now, if you were on their property and accessing, yeah, sure, but once it hits the curb it's fair game.

Also, when I was in San Fran people would use wi-fi network names to advertise things like, "Guitar for sale, $100". I thought that was kind of novel. Like a wi-fi billboard.

Technology has made the notion of property far too problematic. It was a lot easier when it was just about land.

I use a T-Mobile wireless modem now, and it really sucks. I pay 27 pounds a month for it. It may or may not work to let me post this comment. I live in a pretty populous location, but there aren't many wireless networks in my vicinity, and all of them are encrypted.
